yes. Same thing happens. Ran it in safe mode with and without network support....it starts spinning, and then it will just keep spinning over and over and over,,,and slowly things start to come to a crawl... This isn't over a 10 second period either...first time I let it run for 30 minutes on lunch, and when i got back it wasn't even spinning anymore. Second time, I watched it for about 12 minutes and watched it do the same thing.
